Skin tags: Can they be cancerous and how to prevent them?

Skin tags, known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths that usually appear in skin folds such as the neck, armpits, groin, or eyelids. Factors like aging, genetics, obesity, diabetes, and skin friction can contribute to their development. While generally harmless, it’s important to monitor for irregular changes and consult a dermatologist for any concerns.
